Cooking device and components thereof

A cooking system comprising:

• a housing having a first internal compartment and a second internal compartment;
• a first cooking container defining a first cooking volume and having a first handle, the first cooking container being removably receivable within the first internal compartment to close off an opening to the first internal compartment when inserted therein, and a second cooking container defining a second cooking volume and having a second handle, the second cooking container being removably receivable within the second internal compartment to close off an opening to the second internal compartment when inserted therein;
• a first heating element in thermal communication with the first internal compartment and a second heating element in thermal communication with the second internal compartment;
• a first air movement mechanism arranged in fluid communication with the first internal compartment and a second air movement mechanism arranged in fluid communication with the second internal compartment;
• and
• a first motor operable to rotate the first air movement mechanism and a second motor operable to rotate the second air movement mechanism,
• wherein the cooking system is operable in a synchronized mode, and in the synchronized mode a first cooking operation performed in the first internal compartment and a second cooking operation performed in the second internal compartment are synchronized to be completed simultaneously.

A cooking system comprising:
